    You are only person who makes “pickup” type videos that are actually a joy to watch. Probably because you are a gamer first and a collector second, everything you have has a story and meaning to you that I love ti hear.

    Phantasy star is the reason I'm into gaming, I can't believe it's been almost 33 years since I first played it... I always felt like an outcast since no one knew what the hell I was talking about. My friends used to tease me since I would talk about it so much "What's the matter, couldn't kill Lassic again??"
    You were the first one I found online that actually talked about and with the same passion I do, to this day.
    You're good people Johnny, thanks for existing :)

      The first Phantasy Star game I got was Phantasy Star 3, it’s sort of the black sheep of the Phantasy Star series but I enjoyed it.

    at 11:20 I feel exactly the same way in regard of 80s and 90s video game artwork. Those box art ( and booklet artwork) felt so personal and unique. Many legendary video game illustrator still working now, started in the 80s 90s when they were already extremely good but very young. so fascinating and I love it!

    That hand-drawn Castlevania guide is gorgeous! I picked up a pair of 7.1 Surround Sound PlayStation Gold headphones. They are absolutely spectacular! I watched a 4K Dolby Atmos copy of Jurassic World last night and it was IMAX in my brain, I've never had such a pristine, bassy, theatrical sound experience in my home. I want to rewatch everything, it's like experiencing it in the cinema for the first time.

    Phantasy Star is one of my all-time favourites as well; it's sad that the people behind the games didn't get proper credits in those days, but I remember two distinctly from PS: Bo (Sound) & the first lady of video games (at least for me), Phoenix Rie

  • @WojySmokes
    @WojySmokes Год назад +1

    the reason why the artwork feels like homemade, is because graphic design tools werent very good at the time and so it was easier to draw, color, and scan and then correct that scan in digital. Now everything is either made from a image assets and or digital created from the start. Tools like the wacom tablet really started bluring the digital and illustrative world in the last 20'ish years. Im a graphic designer. 15 yr professional.

    I used to hold the tape recorder and tape music on casette. To wait a year and a half for the vinyl soundtrack is a very long time. One of the slowest companies out there. The other organization that takes forever is the dept of labor. It also takes about a year and a half.

    Hi, John!
    It was Wunderland Nickel Arcade
    If it was a $5 entrance fee it was probably the Jantzen Beach location (Right under the bridge into Portland Oregon from Vancouver Washington)
    The one that lived the longest was the one in Beaverton next to the Beaverton Mall and the Westgate Theater (All are gone now)
    There was a three story one next to Washington Square Mall across the street (highway) from Malibu Grand Prix
    New stuff for me:
    I finally got Golden Axe and Contra Hard Corps for the Genesis
    Sadly, no deals were had
    I snagged hand drawn gaming too
    Thanks for making these, Johnny
    It's like sitting down with a friend and talking about cool stuff you found recently

    As a Dark Souls fan I remembered I had a copy of Kings Field 2 (It's actually King's Field 3 because the first game wasn't released in the west), and I recently played through it. Aside from it being a much slower game I had a lot of fun with this one, although I needed to use a guide. I highly recommend the King's Field series if you like Dark Souls.

    Thats so sad to hear. A few years ago I listened to a Retronauts podcast (episope 154 if anyone is interested) with her in it. When i looked her up i was surprised to see how young she still was... She was so young doing Phantasy Star. I really love the amount of creation her and the team would pull out of limited machines they had back then. In a way i really felt like thats how you get more soul into a game. These artists put such care into every segment of the game they would work on. She will be missed. R.i.p. madam.
